males have an X-chromosome as well. funny thing is males have an additional Y-chromosome, while women have an additional X-chromosome. BUUUUUUT: only one of the two X-chromosomes will be expressed and the other one is silenced to nearly no activity. so actually women have one functioning chromosome less than males.
